Pretty cool spot. Great location. Nice staff. Clean spacious rooms. A bit pricey but not really if you consider the quality and the market prices for much lower quality hotels, this one is a step up in price but 3 steps up in quality. Nice pool area.

We stayed 10 years ago and thought its quirks charming. The charming quirks are gone, it’s seen better days, and the standard breakfast, mediocre that it is, is free at most mid-priced Hilton Hotels. At the Graduate it is a $5 cup of coffee and $11 breakfast sandwich. I could at least understand the $75 charge for 4 night’s parking given they are right across from campus ( but why are hotel guests competing with resident students for parking?
